Joly-Pottuz to run HDI’s Paris-based ART unit as Varax set to retire

HDI Global has reorganised its Paris-based alternative risk transfer (ART) unit, HDI Enablers, with Eric Joly-Pottuz taking over the management of the department from Etienne de Varax.

Varax will retire at the end of the year, having managed HDI Enablers since 2022, with Joly-Pottuz as his deputy.

”With HDI Enablers, we are complementing the HDI Global ART offering to corporations and providing our customers with access to innovative risk solutions that are perfectly tailored to their individual needs,” said Joly-Pottuz.

“Our goal is to help companies optimally manage their risks and strengthen their competitiveness.”

In Joly-Pottuz’s new role as head of the unit, he will drive further development of ART solutions.

Varax will remain with HDI Global as a senior advisor until the end of the year.

“In a world where risks are becoming increasingly complex, we find innovative ways to provide our customers with the best possible support, including ways that go beyond traditional insurance solutions,” said Dr Thomas Kuhnt, member of the executive board at HDI Global SE.

“With Eric Joly-Pottuz, we have an experienced expert at the helm of HDI Enablers who will take our ART offering to a new level. 

“We would like to thank his predecessor Etienne de Varax for his successful commitment in developing the unit into an important player in the field of alternative risk transfer in Europe within two years since its foundation.”
